Christine Horner

I’ve been talking about the wonderful Dr. Christine Horner. Dr. Horner (like me!) believes that we are all in control of our bodies and that women need to be taught and educated about Breast Cancer prevention.

How to Starve Cancer Out of Your Body

According to Dr. Horner ‘ The most important thing is what you do or do not put in your mouth.’ This is great because we are in control of what we put in our mouth.

She teaches us that we can eat all the ‘good/preventive’ things in the world but this won’t matter if we are still cluttering our body with things promoting cancer growth. In order to be effective we must STOP eating certain food items first and foremost…

Here’s a list of her foods to AVOID:

–Sugar (Dr. Horner states, “To me, sugar has no redeeming value at all, because they found that the more we consume it, the more we’re fuelling every single chronic disease. In fact, there was a study done about a year ago and the conclusion was that sugar is a universal mechanism for chronic disease. It kicks up inflammation. It kicks up oxygen free radicals. Those are the two main processes we see that underlie any single chronic disorder, including cancers. It fuels the growth of breast cancers, because glucose is cancer’s favorite food. The more you consume, the faster it grows.”)

–Processed Foods

–Soft Drinks

–Red Meat: Dr. Horner, believes red meat from animals reared in confined animal feeding operations (CAFO’s) is also a MAJOR contributor to cancer. These animals are given antibiotics, growth hormones and other veterinary drugs that get stored in their tissues. Additionally, cooking the meat over high heat creates heterocyclic amines, which further add to its carcinogenic effect.

If you are eating red meat make sure you are buying from companies that care about how their animals are fed and raised. Red Meat that is taken care of properly can be beneficial for our bodies. Check out my post ‘Beyond Organic’ to learn more about this

You can also purchase healthy 100% Grass Fed, hormone-free, and antibiotic-free meat here:

The main focus of my Thermography practice is to help women learn that prevention is the key tool in the fight against Breast Cancer.

Dr. Christine Horner– board certified and nationally recognized surgeon, author, expert in natural medicine, professional speaker and a relentless champion for women’s health- has that same message!

Dr. Horner started her medical career as a Plastic Surgeon. She noticed that women were coming in younger and younger for breast reconstruction surgery and thought that there was something wrong with that picture.

Dr. Horner started researching and reading studies about the causes of Breast Cancer and realized that our American diet was the main cause.

“People that live in Asia have a very low incidence of breast cancer or prostate cancer… [W]e have the studies showing that if an Asian woman moves to the United States and adopts our American diet and lifestyle, within one generation her risk will match that of an American woman’s. “

One generation!

What are we doing wrong?

There are many simple things women can add to their daily routine that will have a dramatic effect on their health.

According to Dr. Horner: ‘It’s very simple. If you have a terrible diet and lifestyle and you do just one thing, you cut your risk in half. You do more than one thing and they will multiply up together.’

If it’s so simple why isn’t everyone doing it?!

Through my practice I love teaching women the tools to effectively prevent Breast Cancer (not to mention other forms of cancer!)
